Brief Answer:
Please don't worry! There is no risk for HIV and STD.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on your history (protected sexual intercourse and just sucked breasts and touched genitals) I think that you shouldn't worry because there is no risk for HIV and STD.
I am pretty sure that these symptoms are just flu symptoms that you can catch from the driver.
You should know that the flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk and these droplets can land on the mouth or noses of people who are nearby or possibly inhaled it into the lungs. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth or nose. People with flu can spread it to others up to about 6 feet away.
I hope my answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further. I wish you a quick recovery.

Thank you for the response which is quite reassuring
Sorry wanted to mention my symptoms which were sore throat first, then bad cold and now productive cough. No lymph node swellings rashes etc Just the three above
I am concerned about having sex now with my regular partner in case these are the early stages of hiv infection so widely available on the internet.
I am not psyched up at the moment to go for any tests and realize maybe am just being paranoid and guilty.
I do have a slight temperature but no aches and pains etc

Brief Answer:
Please, there is no place to worry for HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Related your concern I emphasize again that you shouldn't worry because there is no risk for HIV.
These above mentioned symptoms are just flu symptoms and could last just 3-4 days (if there are not bacterial complications).
During this time, I suggest you drink a lot of water and natural tea, eat fruits, and use Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen and antitussive (for cough). If these symptoms last more than 3-4 days, you should meet a doctor to see for complications.
Furthermore, in your case, I think is not necessary to do HIV test.
I hope my answer helps you. I wish you a quick recovery.
